Hi, this is my first post in this forum.
A month ago i purchased an unlocked ATT HTC One X that i'm using on Rogers, i live in canada. I have read and tried all sorts of different things from different threads to get wifi tethering to work, but so far i can't make it work. I spent a long time on the phone with rogers tech support, and they are convinced that the problem is that my tethering APN has been deleted in the unlocking process.
I believe this thread has the answers i need:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722249
But, since i'm new i can't ask questions there.
If i try to follow the automatic instructions, i run into the problem that i am not in an LTE zone, so i don't think ltemobile.apn will work for me. (the Rogers tech support guy suggested to use either ltedata.apn or rogers-core-appl1.apn)
With the manual install method i have ES File Explorer installed, but i can only seem to see /sdcard/ and i can't find, /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db this seems like something that should be really simple..
i'm very new to android, any help would be appreciated!
ok.... unlocked what? sim? bootloader?
are you on stock rom? att rom?
wifi tether as in usb? or wifi hot spot?
pm me and ill give u my gtalk...

Just wanted to say a huge thanks to ptesmoke for helping me out!
For those who find this on google, basically the solution for me ended up being installing a different rom, the viper xl one.

Sorry if this is redundant folks, but a friend of my stepfather has been having some issues. He recently purchased a G2X, used it for a month or 2 on T-Mobile, but now wants to switch to AT&T with his girlfriend. He's gotten pretty far, getting the IMEI from T-Mo and getting it actually unlocked. He's now got Calls and Texts up and running on AT&T's network, but he can't get any data to work. We know that 3G won't work on it, but we assumed EDGE would.
Any help here? I'm sure it something reasonably simple.
Please and thanks, XDA!
There's a thread in the SGS2 dev section with AT&T's APN settings. They probably need to be changed in the phone.
Mine is unlocked and I tried my wife's at&t sim and had no issues connecting to internet. Not that that helps you, just wanted to throw in my experience. I wonder if it makes a difference which type of rate/data plan the at&t sim is on.
G2X CM7
Thanks Barry, I found that thread and sent him the APN settings. I'll post back tomorrow with results.
And thanks for your input phburks. The reason why yours worked may be that you're running CM. Our g2x is running stock Android.

Hey guys!
I S-OFFed a new Sensation and got to flashing ROMs after a lot of difficulty. Cleared the SIM Lock and then noticed that I can't get anything outside of GSM. No Edge or 3G.
I just need to know which Radio, Baseband and RIL you guys are using? I've got Virtuous Inquisition and have used their recommended radio. I've made sure the appropriate RIL files are flashed and have probably tried about 15 radios... I'm really lost here and have been beating my brains over it for almost 24 hours now.
If someone could help me ASAP I would greatly appreciate it. I'm not a rich man (especially considering that this is a full out purchased device... wife BROKE her beautiful Atrix that I rooted and had CM7 on ) but I'll throw some cash down to buy you a beer lol
Thanks, guys! I'll keep searching in the meanwhile. Wife is in school and working so it's really tough not being able to stay in touch especially with the kids needing looking after. Cheers!
Do you have your service providers APN added to the phone?
I use Virtuous Inquisition and it automatically deleted all APN's I had for Fido so I had to readd the Fido APN for data and the Fido MMS APN.
I'm on virgin Canada, wich is Bell. I'm using the 3.3.0 firmware, and associated radio -11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M. I've never had to flash a different ril. Are you sure you have the proper son as above poster asked? Strange problem I've flashed every radio and Rom out there and never had a problem. If you need apn settings let me know and ill post for you.

Thanks, man. Definitely have the right APN settings. Tried with my SIM card as well and even went as far as trying to switch bands and tons of other things.
I'm going to try flashing this firmware and radio and I'll make sure it's got the corresponding RIL. May try another non-ICS ROM just to be on the safe side. Thanks, fellas.
Hello everyone. This is my first post on XDA. I've been an avid follower for a couple of months now, but I've reached a problem in my hacking spree which cannot be resolved by a simple search.
First thing's first... I'm running AOKP 6, and using the HTC TELUS 1.91 (0.18a.32.09.01_2_10.94.32.20L) radio. I know this sounds silly, but is it OK for me to be connecting to the Telus Operator, rather than Rogers? I have the correct Rogers APN entered, and can use data just fine.
When I enter the Network Operators Menu in the settings, I get a list of three different operators: Rogers, Telus, and Bell. When I tap Rogers, it will authenticate for around 2 minutes and then say it's not available. The same case goes for the other two. But when I enter a dead zone (typically in the university) it says something along the lines of "Cannot connect to network (Telus)"
I suppose another question I have is, is the current radio that I'm using sufficient or is there one which is more beneficial? If it helps anyone, I'm living in the west coast of British Columbia, Canada.
Thank you very much for reading my poorly explained thread. I hope somebody can help me fix this issue I'm having.
I have no idea why you suddenly have no connection to Rogers. It may be an issue with the Telus modem. Have you tried flashing a different one to test? I am on Rogers in Vancity also and i just flashed the 1.88 modem from Asia. It seems to be working fine for me. Perhaps give that one a try.
Before this radio I was using the Rogers one provided in that thread. I was also connected to Telus towers with that one. I will give the Asia radio a try.
Here is a silly question. Is it a Rogers HOX or an AT&T version?

Heh, well. I bought it brand new at Rogers Plus. I'd like to assume it's a Rogers phone.

Lol just checking. I just flashed back to the Rogers radio, the 1.88 radio is crap. My LTE speeds and signal strength took a dump.
Oddly though, this version of the 1.73 Rogers radio fixed my wireless issues.

As for your issue, have you verified that the Rogers LTE apn didnt get screwed up by AOKP?
Really, I'm not sure. I'm using the official Rogers APN with all the right settings. When I get home I'll attempt to flash another radio and report back. By the way, I really appreciate your help. Thank you!

No worries bro. I haven't exactly been much help though, since I am only tossing guesses your way, lol.
Unfortunately, I'm having the same issues and connecting to Telus rather than Rogers. Very strange indeed...

I don't get it. Does it automatically connect to Telus, or just NOT connect to Rogers? Have you tried another ROM?
I would do a nandroid backup of your current setup and maybe try a different rom. Won't hurt, you can always restore.
Beamed from my KingCobra1X powered HOXL
I honestly wish I were better at explaining this. If I try to manually register to the Rogers operator, or any operator for instance, it will say it's unavailable. Although I do notice that it says it's connected to Telus when I lose connection in a dead zone. It shows "(Telus)" beside a lost signal message.
I would try replacing your sim card. The LTE sim cards can be flakey. Its an easy way to eliminate that possibility. Hell, it may fix it. Other than that you could try playing stupid and calling Rogers. Just don't mention the fact that you have flashed another rom or unlocked your boot loader....
Beamed from my KingCobra1X powered HOXL
Try flashing the king cobra rom I believe it is based for rogers and comes with the HTC Asia radio 1.88. Give that a shot. Not really too sure just trying to help.
Yea. King Cobra is working great for me. I was looking through the AOKP thread and there are a few people reporting data issues. I would swap roms as I suggested a few posts back.
Beamed from my KingCobra1X powered HOXL
I'm not sure exactly what I did, but I fixed it! I flashed the stock Rogers radio back in my phone, and I'm using a different RIL now. But I'm getting amazing download speeds and connecting to the Rogers Operator. My mind is blown.
I really appreciate your efforts to help me. Thanks.
Awesome! At this point it doesn't matter WHAT fixed it, only that its fixed!
I just flashed the 1.89 Telstra radio with ril and my LTE speeds went up.
Beamed from my KingCobra1X powered HOXL
Please If anyone could direct me to the answer I'd be eternal grateful. here is my issue and I'm not the only one with it there are a few of us.
Bought a Rogers HTC ONE X on launch day Unlocked it and hooked it up to the Telus network. right from the begining the phone would not connect to the Telus LTE network for what ever reason I doen know it should be compatible.
I've bounced around from every rom in this forum some would let me phone connect to LTE but only 10mbps download until I cam across KingCobra 1.2 based on Asia 1.88 (other roms at the same time were based from this same build) with this rom and the included V6 supercharger in the aroma installer my LTE came to life and my download speeds were 25-55mbps depending on the area I was in.
Here is my Question what is it about that rom that got my phone to connect to the Telus LTE network with thoes speeds??????????
Here is some of the stuff I've tried
V6 Supercharger - I've installed it with other roms of the same and different bases but still no luck.
Radios - I've flashed every radio and radio + Ril but still no luck getting it to work
Roms - tried every rom in here with different combinations and still no luck
Could there be something special about the telus rom files for it to conect to there LTE network? Does anyone have a Telus RUU I can try flashing to my phone to see if that helps?
I'm at my wits end with this problem and its driving me to the point where I'm thinking about selling my One X and getting the SIII and I hate samsung phones lol
You probably just need to enter the Telus APN. Turge lives in Canada so his ROMs might already include the Telus APN. This would explain why the KingCobra1X ROM would work but others won't. A quick google search should give you the APN settings.

Thanks guys but I should have said in the OP that this is one of the things I first tried. My APN is the exact same for other roms as the KingCobra rom.

Have you contacted TELUS technical support to ensure your account is LTE provisioned?
To provision, you require a V3 SIM Card, an LTE compatible plan (they should all be), and an LTE compatible phone.
There are a "rare few" that don't get provisioned automatically, DNA support can assist with this.
Have you tested your LTE SIM in another LTE phone? This would show if it is account related, network related, or possibly your hardware related.
As WorldIRC said you need to tell Telus you need LTE enabled on your account.
That being said I haven't done that with Rogers yet either but I've realized HSPA+ has been perfectly fine for me especially since I only have 500mb data plan.
Yes I have a v3 sim from Telus and my account is LTE enabled. I have contacted customer support and they tell me everything is fine at there end. Like I said it works perfectly on the KingCobra 1.2 rom. That tells me that it's not my network/plan or my hardware
I'm not the only one with this issue I know of at least 3 people with the same setup (unlocked Rogers phone on Telus network) Turge (dev behind the KingCobra rom) being one of them.
Even Turge can't figure it out that I know of. When he changed the base of his rom to 2.23 it broke the LTE for us if we did a full wipe but everyone else is ok.
It's really puzzling and I've spent all day messing with the Build.Prop in clean rom using settings from the V6 supercharger, from the king cobra rom what ever I could think of. Best I could come up with was
Phone connected to LTE but download was 10mbps and upload was 25mbps this is the best I can get on any rom other than KingCobra

Your unlock won't cause any problem.
Yeah I give up I went back to KingCobra1X 1.2 cause that's the only rom where my LTE works properly.
Going to check out my options might sell this phone and get the galaxy S III

You can +1 with another Unlocked Rogers HOX on Telus with the same problem. I always thought it might have been a Toronto thing, but now hearing you comment about this there must be something Telus does...perhaps to force you to buy their phones.
I don't think I'm going to give up on the HOX, I love this machine to death. Secretly I'm hoping someone will leak the stock Telus ROM so I can flash out of the stock Rogers ROM. I've recently updated to the latest Rogers Stock, and still same problem. LTE dl speeds capped around 10...
Lemmee know if you find a better solution than using KingCobra, I'm dying to see what true LTE feels like =P
Cheers!!!

I'm using a Telus One X....I haven't rooted / custom ROM'ed it yet...but contemplating doing so for LTE test purposes.
Right now, bone stock, I hit a max of 47mbit down today at Vaughan Mills; with an average of 20-25 mbit today.
OP have you tried the latest KingCobra rom released today?

I was never personally a fan of LTE even after I got my HOX, so losing it really didn't kill me. I am on the Telus network with a Telus HOX. I will revert back to my stock setup and see if I can pull anything out of it that is different from my current setup (CleanROM 4.5). IMO, 10mbps is plenty fast enough in everyday use, blows all my iJunk buddies out of the water anyways =p. Will report back.

Alright, I've flashed the phone w/ the UVMC6 radio and still nothing. I'm using an AT&T branded Skyrocket. I was told that rooting wasn't necessary but have read and it appears that it's "RATLOCKED" and I'm probably going to have to root it to allow it to use any other network provider's network. Can someone please let me know if this is the case? I have to go to bed, but I guess I'll play around with it some more tomorrow. Thanks.
Re: Will the Skyrocket on T-Mobile be able to use their LTE network?
Using the i757 modem with LTE APN settings has worked for others here with the skyrocket. You'll have to manually enter the tmo apn settings I believe though.
See this thread if you haven't already... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507825
Also, you might not want to spam the forum with multiple posts about the same general topic. If all of your thoughts are contained in one thread, it's much easier for others to figure out what's going on, and it will be looked upon as much more polite in the eyes of other readers.
